One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their ability to evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death, through changes in protein expression. Inducing apoptosis in cancer cells has become a major focus ...

Researchers at Umeå University have contributed new insights into how cancer cells protect themselves from cell death. The study provides a deeper understanding of how key proteins interact within the ...

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a tightly regulated biological process necessary for normal tissue maintenance and development. However, aberrations in apoptotic signaling networks are ...

Cell death research has emerged as a cornerstone for understanding the pathogenesis of neurological disorders. Neurons and glial cells in the central ...

A newly published study reports that APC-deficient cancer cells may depend on a single metabolic enzyme for survival, revealing a potential strategy for selectively targeting tumours associated with ...

The activation and deactivation of apoptosis is a promising field of research in basic biomedical research. The team led by Prof. Franz Hagn from the Chair of Structural Membrane Biochemistry at the ...

A new Dartmouth study opens new avenues for understanding—and potentially manipulating—how cells decide to live or die. Scientists have long known that mitochondria—a cell's tiny power plants—pull ...
